Revelation and Self Healing
Her lifelong passion and professional involvement with natural health, spiritual growth and personal transformation eventually guided her to the nourishing, restorative, and self empowering practice of Ayurveda the time tested natural health care system of Ancient India. This unfolding love affair began around 2009, following a life changing bout with advanced cancer. Fortunately, through a combined protocol of powerful holistic therapies, western medical treatments and the support of great doctors, family, Friends, and Gods Grace she fully recovered. Dhyana found Ayurveda to be the perfect holistic support system as the path to recovery and rejuvenation from such an experience. She discovered the deep time-tested knowledge of self care, and sought to deeply understand her unique nature through the five elements and alchemy of earth, water, fire, air and ether as a way to restore balance and harmony on an ongoing, daily basis. Naturally she had to add this deep dive study and application to her healing practice to help others.
